35. I don't need to ask my grandpa...
but if I did, I'd also know that leftist political activism was vibrant in the 30s. History is not repeating itself. There were actual human beings fighting against bigotry and fear. Union organizing was prevalent and so was the power of the labor party, the socialists, and communists. They took control of history and fought back and were not content to sit and "enjoy" the triumph of the oligarchy. Now all we have are keyboard warriors and apologists for the representatives of the capitalism.
